Missing Entities Pop-up Toolbar

When you replace components in an assembly, the Missing Entities pop-up toolbar helps you to navigate through existing mates as you replace mate references.

From the pop-up toolbar, you can:
  • Show the replacement part alone, show the replacement part with related parts, or show the entire assembly.
  • Undo selections and operations.
  • Delete mates.
  • Skip mates.
  • Toggle mate alignments.

To access the Missing Entities pop-up toolbar:

In the Replace Components PropertyManager, under Options, select Re-attach mates, and then click .

The Mated Entities PropertyManager appears. Additionally, a window shows the original component with the missing mate entity highlighted, and the Missing Entities pop-up toolbar appears.


 
Isolate Controls which components are visible in the graphics area, to help you focus on the missing mate entities. Click Isolate and select:

Replacement Part Only
